OCTOBER 81, 1887,

A subscription for the purpose OF
building a monument over the grave
of Foster is projected. In order to
give everybody a show to throw in and
make it a genuine public memorial, the
subscription of each individual should
not exceed one dollar. Smaller sums
may be contributed by those who do
not feel able to give more. All names
of parties and amounts subscribed will
be acknowledged by publication in the
FREE PRESS, and the money deposited
with the county treasurer. The selec-
ton of the monument and inscriptions
for the same will be made by a COM
mittee composed of the following citi-
zens: l.. P. Brown, w. c. Pearson,

THE SPOLIATION CLAIMS.

Delegate Dubois arrived here Tuesday
night to gather information about the
spoilation claims of our citizens against
the government for depredations COM
mitted by the Indians in 1877. Mr..
Dubois investigated the matter while in
Washington recently, and was surprised
to find no evidence whatever concerning
them on record in the Indian office.
1t appears that our citizens in filing
claims have presented them to the war
department, by whom they were re-
jected, and such length of time has
elapsed that they are now outlawed.
MIR. Dubois is of the opinion that if the
claims are duly itemzed and filed in the
proper place, that he can get commits
sion appointed to come out and take the
necessary testimony and secure the pas
sage of an appropriation for the payment
of all verified claims. Our citizens who
are interested in this matter should at
once get together and cooperate with
Mr.. Dubois to have the claims present.
ed during the coming session of con-
gress.
The proper mode of procedure Mr..
Dubois thinks is for these various claim
ants to make affidavit that they made
out their claims-giving dates as nearly
as they can-and gave them to Mai's.
Candy and fowler, who represented
themselves as agents for the govern
ment. Then make out new claims, in
accordance with circular of instructions.
With these papers he may get the claims
re-instated and an agent sent out to in
vestigate them.
